Insect Proteins in Pet Food - sustainability and health. Interesting comment from Hill's Pet Nutrition in the article. "If we don't launch a product and put it out here, how would we progress further with our research? At what juncture do we deem it sufficient?" First to Market Advantage...........rarely knocks twice. Insect proteins in Pet Food is rapidly progressing with many citing the environment and health benefits but what we at Viridian Renewable Technology Pty Ltd are finding - the pets just love the taste of it. #bsfl #petfood #insectprotein #innovation #circulareconomy #foodwaste

PetFoodProcessing.net Inc Interesting insights - ingredient content knowledge is gaining amongst Pet Owners. Viridian Renewable Technology Pty Ltd we are seeing significant positive results in the use of our Frozen BSFL "V-Pro" insect protein in new formulations. Now available in Australia from Pre-Consumer food inputs. From the article....... "Formulas targeting the gut microbiome or digestive and gut health have flooded the market, and the industry — and consumers — have become more aware of the imperative role the microbiome plays in a pet’s overall health and wellbeing. In fact, three out of five respondents claimed they are familiar with gut health, gut-health ingredients like probiotics, and the power of gut-healthy foods. Further digging into this, Get Joy found that 83% of respondents believe gut-healthy foods can extend a dog’s life, 89% believe it can improve a dog’s daily quality of life, 77% believe it can improve a dog’s brain health, and 77% also believe it can prevent disease in dogs." #BSFL #insectprotein #sustainability

Whole dried Black Soldier Fly Larvae are a nutritious and highly palatable ingredient for birds and poultry alike. Easily incorporated into feed blends or fed by hand, they are a stimulating and natural feed source that improves the quality of eggs. This was recently confirmed by an ongoing Viridian customer The Good Life Backyard – a long established national supplier of feed to backyard chicken owners. “Trialing dried black soldier flies from our supplier Viridian Renewable Technology with our resident chooks it is clear it is well received, and they cannot wait” Global research has demonstrated that including as little as 5% of these dried BSFL in poultry diets can have a positive impact on eggs. From stronger shells to eggs with richer coloured yolks and increased nutrient density – they are just better. Traditional feeds, although nutritionally formulated and balanced, may contain ingredients that would not necessarily exist in the wild. Chickens naturally want to eat insects – as the video clearly demonstrates, they are very happy. Owners are also happy as they clearly know what they are feeding their chickens. Viridian only takes pre-consumer surplus food materials to produce feed for our larvae. Combining this with our proprietary processing technology, we give our customers the best possible natural feed – setting the standard for quality, palatability and safety. https://lnkd.in/gG2x9nKY #insectprotein #bsfl #poultry #eggs #australianmade
